David Catron writes for the American Spectator about links between Marxism, Islamism, and democratic socialists.
When Abdul El-Sayed defeated “moderate” Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) to claim the Democratic nomination for the Senate in Michigan, far left members of the party and their allies in the corporate news media responded with unabashed elation. It is by no means clear, however, that these people understand the significance of El-Sayed’s narrow victory. This primary was just the latest manifestation of the collaboration between neo-Marxist progressives and radical Islamists. This affiliation is neither incidental nor harmless. These extremist groups share two common objectives — the destruction of Israel and the corruption of Western democracy.
Like most subversive movements the Red-Green Alliance, as it is sometimes called, began as a small and rather ludicrous group of four far-left primary candidates who successfully challenged establishment Democrats in deep blue House districts. We now know them as the Squad — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). They were inevitably the beneficiaries of fawning media coverage from the New York Times, CNN, the communist magazine Jacobin, the Islamist publication Al-Jazeera, ad infinitum. The corporate “news” media in general heralded the Squad as a progressive alternative to the alleged evils of “Trumpism” and Ocasio-Cortez soon became their mascot.
And her utterances reinforced the notion that the Squad was little more than a joke. While discussing climate change initiatives she brayed, “We need to invent technology that has never even been invented yet.” …
… The far left’s celebration of shared victimhood and anti-colonial rhetoric will provide Islamists with camouflage that they will quickly shed if their war on the West succeeds. The DSA poseurs don’t understand that their movement is viewed by Islamists as a product of Western culture and politics. If the Marxists-Islamist alliance achieves its goals, the armies of the Prophet will set upon their former accomplices. They will not be kind to atheists or socialists.
